Make 1 Give 1 Scarf

Knit or crochet a scarf for yourself and 1 for charity in honor of National Heart Disease Awareness Month! February is National Heart Disease Awareness Month. Heart Disease is the number one killer of women. As a way to remind women of the dangers of heart disease, wear the color red. I have designed these scarves to help spread awareness of the United States’ leading cause of death among men AND WOMEN. Why not knit one for yourself and knit one to donate to your local cardiac unit? The local hospital may be collecting red scarves to give to heart patients and you can help!
